followed.
This procedure is required before the
air compressor is put into service and
when the check valve or a complete
compressor pump has been replaced.
1. Make sure the On/Off switch is in
the "Off" position.
2.
Plug the power cord into the
correct branch circuit receptacle.
(Refer to VoltageandCircuit
Protection paragraph in
the Installation section of
this manual.)
3. Open the drain valve (counter-
clockwise) fully to permit air to
escape and prevent air pressure
build up in the air tank during the
break-in period.
4. Move the On/Off switch to "On"
position. The compressor will start.
5. Run the compressor for 15 min-
utes. Make sure the drain valve
is open and there is minimal air
pressure build-up in tank.
6. After 15 minutes, close the drain
valve by turning clockwise. The
air receiver will fill to "cut-out"
pressure and the motor will stop.
The compressor is now ready for use.
BeforeEachStart-Up
